Award-winning creative director and commissioner, London, UK
I’ve spent my career at the point where culture meets content, starting out in magazines as digital and social platforms transformed how audiences discovered ideas, talent and stories. I’ve always loved music, books and films and their power to transport us from the everyday. I’m curious about people and the things that make culture move.
My work has taken me from editorial and digital video into film, brands, publishing and cultural programming, developing and commissioning everything from original formats and documentaries to branded films and photography.
I launched Dazed on YouTube at a formative moment for the platform, commissioned more than 100 films across music, art, fashion and documentary. At The Face, I launched and led the Video & Content department through the magazine’s relaunch, and later worked with global brands and cultural projects at Anomaly and Academy Films.
What I care about most is discovering talent, telling good stories and finding ways to connect people with ideas they might not otherwise encounter. I’m drawn to work with a strong point of view work that feels culturally relevant and makes people feel something.
I’ve been lucky to work with brilliant directors, producers, photographers, designers, writers and crews throughout my career. Film and video are collaborative by nature, and I’m grateful to all the brilliant people I’ve had the pleasure of working with along the way.
I also mentor with Spiral Skills and A New Direction, supporting emerging creative talent and helping people find their way into the industry.
I’m always interested in meeting good people, hearing about interesting ideas and finding new things to make, so feel free to drop me a line.
